Silver price (XAG/USD) trades with 0.57% losses at $22.93 at the time of writing, after bottoming at a low of $22.75 during the early Asian session. The precious metal price is trading in the red for a fourth consecutive day, and buyers should not ignore that technical indicator on the daily chart are approaching oversold conditions.

That being said, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is just above the overbought threshold while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has been standing in negative territory since mid-April, suggesting that a technical correction may be on the horizon.

In addition, XAG/USD lost the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) for the first time since March and now has its last support at the 200-day SMA at $22.01. So, considering the possibility of an upwards correction, the price can use the mentioned moving averages as support and resistances for consolidating the losses and then entering a period of sideways trading.
